Electric vehicles meet the same safety standards as any vehicle in the U.S., following the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards [Alternative Fuels Data Center]. The batteries are encased and sealed in protective shell to prevent issues in the case of an accident. Any EV available for purchase will have gone through intense testing to ensure safety […]?
Any internal combustion engine can be converted to an EV by removing the engine and adding a battery pack. An EV conversion creates the greatest impact on driving range for lighter-weight vehicles.

EVs and PHEVs running on electricity have zero tailpipe emissions, but emissions may be produced by the source of electrical power, such as a power plant. Electricity generation is regional, so to get an accurate picture of the emissions created by an EV it is important to look at the sources used to create electricity […]?
Wells-to-wheels emissions take into account the production and distribution of the fuel. It is a type of analysis that allows individuals to compare emissions over the entire life cycle of a vehicle —from the energy and materials used to power a vehicle, to the direct tailpipe emissions. This makes it more “apples-to-apples” when comparing to […]?
